“…In general, they are usually solitary, well-demarcated nodules measuring less than 4 cm in diameter, and approximately 15 % are calcified [2]. a few cases of hamartomas penetrating the visceral pleura have so far been reported [2,3]. We herein describe a rare case of pulmonary hamartoma that penetrated the visceral pleura with pleural dissemination.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, only a few cases of hamartomas penetrating the visceral pleura have been reported in the english literature [2,3], while one case of penetration of the visceral pleura with pleural dissemination has been reported in the Japanese literature [5]. In that case, a 62-year-old male had a 23 mm tumor in the right lower lobe.…”

“…pulmonary hamartoma is the most common benign tumor of the lung [1][2][3], accounting for 1.3 % of resected pulmonary neoplasms [4]. These tumors usually develop between the fourth and seventh decades of life, and are more common in males than females [1].…”

Pulmonary chondromatous hamartoma with pleural dissemination: report of a case

We herein describe a very rare case of pulmonary hamartoma with pleural dissemination. A 77-year-old male was referred to our department for a further investigation of an abnormal chest radiograph. Chest computed tomography showed a 15 mm nodule in the left lung with small pleural nodules. Thoracoscopic resection of the nodules was performed, as the possibility of malignancy could not be ruled out. The intraoperative findings revealed a white nodule with a lumpy surface in the left lower lobe that had penetrated the visceral pleura. Several smaller nodules were found on the pleural surface. Pathologically, the pulmonary and pleural nodules were chondromatous hamartomas.

“…Über die Penetration der Pleura visceralis durch peripher gelegene Hamartome ist berichtet worden [10]. Bei diesen Fäl-len könnte es sich aber eher um eine Verdrängung der Pleura visceralis durch das Tumorwachstum als um eine blastomatö-se Infiltration handeln.…”

“…Multiple Hamartochondrome sind extrem selten [2,5,6,10,11]. Die im vorliegenden Fall gleichzeitig nachgewiesenen kleineren Tumorherde mit chondroider, muskulärer und adipöser Differenzierung können als ein multizentrisches benignes Tumorgeschehen angesehen werden, gut passend zu den bereits berichteten zytogenetischen Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen pulmonalen Hamartochondromen, Lipomen und Leiomyomen [1].…”

Hamartomas are the most common benign tumors of the lungs and usually present as solitary intraparenchymal lesions a few centimeters in diameter which are detected radiologically as an incidental finding. This article reports on a case of a giant pulmonary hamartochondroma 29 cm in diameter, which impressed preoperatively and intraoperatively as an extrapulmonary neoplasm. The detection of smaller mesenchymal neoplastic lesions in the lungs and pleura is a further special feature of this case.

Purpose Pulmonary hamartoma is the most common benign tumor of the lung. We analyzed a 20-year historical series of patients with pulmonary hamartoma undergoing surgical resection, aiming to evaluate the characteristics, the outcomes, and the association between hamartoma and lung cancer. Methods It was a retrospective multicenter study including the data of all consecutive patients with pulmonary hamartoma undergoing surgical resection. The end-points were to evaluate: (i) the characteristics of hamartoma, (ii) outcomes, and (iii) whether hamartoma was a predictive factor for lung cancer development Results Our study population included 540 patients. Upfront surgical or endoscopic resection was performed in 385 (71%) cases while in the remaining 155 (29%) cases, the lesions were resected 20 ± 3.5 months later due to increase in size. In most cases, lung sparing resection was carried out including enucleation (n = 259; 48%) and wedge resection (n = 230; 43%) while 5 (1%) patients underwent endoscopic resection. Only two patients (0, 2%) had major complications. One patient (0.23%) had recurrence after endoscopic resection, while no cases of malignant degeneration were seen (mean follow-up:103.3 ± 93 months). Seventy-six patients (14%) had associated lung cancer, synchronous in 9 (12%) and metachronous in 67 (88%). Only age > 70-year-old (p = 0.0059) and smokers > 20 cigarettes/day (p < 0.0001) were the significant risk factors for lung cancer. Conclusion PH was a benign tumor, with no evidence of recurrence and/or of malignant degeneration after resection. The association between hamartoma and lung cancer was a spurious phenomenon due to common risk factors.
